About Us

WELCOME

Welcome to Dauphin Island Baptist Church where our doors are wide open to you – whether you are just beginning to seek God or a committed Christian. Our church intends to meet you where you are. Our community experiences dynamic worship, close community and the presence of Jesus in a wonderful way.

We are driven by two purposes. First, to love God with all we are and all we have. Second, to reach out with God’s love to those around us. Whether it be our Sunday morning worship event, our Wednesday Children’s program, a small group event or our many other ministries, we seek to be a constant channel of Jesus’ presence.

So whether you’re looking for a community where you can discover God for the first time, or if you are a believer looking for a place to grow and serve, you are welcome here. You will find that this is a place where you really matter – because you matter to God. – Chris Schansberg, Pastor of Dauphin Island Baptist

Meet Our Staff

Coming to Christ as Lord and Savior at the age of 14, Chris experienced a call to Christian ministry shortly thereafter. Chris was ordained to Christian ministry in 1995 and has been the pastor of Dauphin Island Baptist Church since 1998.

WHAT WE BELIEVE

In the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ. That he was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary. He led a sinless life,​ took on Himself all our sins, died and rose again, is seated at the right hand of the Father as our mediator and advocate. We believe he will personally return in power and glory. (John 1:1-4; Matthew 1:23; Philippians 2:5-11; Hebrews 1:1-4 & 4:15; Acts 1:11 & 2:22-24; I Corinthians 15:3-4)

We believe that, for the salvation of lost and sinful man, repentance of sin and faith in Jesus Christ results in regeneration by the Holy Spirit and that Jesus Christ is the only way of salvation. (Titus 3:4-7; Luke 24:46-47; Ephesians 2:8-9; John 14:6; Acts 4:12)

We believe in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost; those who are saved will experience the resurrection and eternal life; those who are lost will be resurrected to punishment and eternal separation from God. (Revelation 20:11-15; I Corinthians 15:51-57)
